Head of the unit, Dr Geoff McCowage, was on hand to explain some of the latest and amazing advances that are being made into cancer research among children. He also expressed his deep appreciation for the support of the shipping industry.

Over the years, the Golf Day has raised well over $600,000 for the hospital, and while the financial result of this year’s event is still being calculated, it is sure to be significant.

This year, 44 players with an AGU handicap played off for the inaugural Peter Attwater Perpetual Trophy.

This trophy reflects grateful thanks to Mr Attwater from the industry and Westmead Hospital Children’s Oncology Department’s for his role in organising the event and being head of the committee raising more than $600,000 for the Hospital.

Dr McCowage also presented Mr Attwater with a trophy recognising the contribution he has made to the hospital through his involvement with the Golf Day.

While Mr Attwater has retired from the organising committee and the industry, he still takes part in the event.
